Good Points
Make me look like an ace skier - a miracle! Makes any turn shape as fast as you think of it. Light but solid, responsive, handles any sort of snow condition

Bad Points
On hard pack steep's Volkl AC3 feels more solid, 08/09 model colours look much nicer!

General Comments
Went from 5 Stars to AC 3's which felt very solid but not as alive as my old 5 stars. Spent 2 weeks in Sun Peaks, BC, on these Tornados cover pretty well all the bases. Quick edge to edge, enough width under foot for playing in crud, fresh pow or bumps, light enough to flick around, yet on a groomer they are stable enough you can really crank them over - even got a glove down you can get such good angles:) Despite aging body these things made me want to go again and again until the lifts closed! Excellent all round ski.
